Feel the funk by the rap czars in sports cars

Comin atcha now you listen at the feet of a master

Cautionnot wheel of fortunehere's a portion

Of untamednessapproachin famousfor miscellaneous

The track get crackin thoughunexplainable

When I ground a jewelsound is simply uncontainable

Release my soulbut never make the mistake

And play me like a stone cold fruitcake man

Cause you can never fathom g the dough we want so

My flow's the steadiestto never leave us penniless

Come on down to the very necessary legendary

Well the more the merry stickin women type of villian

The evidence relentlessI ride to see you magnatized

Mecca to begin you're locked in no doubt

You can season the pot wellbut here's the main ingredient

I know you wonder what kind of way is that to think:

Put all the wackest rappers on a boat and let it sink

Don't blink; next thing you see you spot is taken

No jax I'm fakin' soldiers took the whole reservation

On a scale of one to tenwe move rather swiftly

Want a dimepiece but we'll settle for an eight-fifty

Don't blow mineyour trump card is exposed to pages

Now your beginning's already at the final stages

Pumpin like 12 gauges from a shotgun blast

I never saw people run so fastaight? 

Stay up all nightthen sleep all day

Makin big lucci and would have it no other way

In conjunctionwith the functionas stated

Orchestrated by the soul brother nickel plated

Tell the judge you were foolishand try to be lenient

Cause you never had the the main ingredient

The main ingredient (7x)

Hit the third verse off kid



[cl smooth]

This cap is peeled layin joints like a minefield

When dynamite's my rhythm this is east coast terrorism

The vernon-ville's mecca donformin voltron tactics

Let off three verses and the crowd panics

Get em allthe kingpin of the player's ball

Now every tramp in your camp's going awol

My lucci situation is a daily operation

On the stripI refine you like tales from the crypt

Right here's the real shitand all that other's counterfeit

Funk to let you know exactly what you're dealin with

P-r slashc-l smashlove to spend cash

For proper livinslidin up in wealthy women

Stick your hand in my pantsand grab the mic's no crime

Cause like sisters with voicesit's about time

For you to respect my whole foundation precisely

Be obedientto the main ingredient
